Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
3 ounces pancetta, chopped
8 ounces rigatoni
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
4 ounces Brie, rind removed and finely chopped
4 ounces Gruyere, shredded
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons shredded Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
  • Cook the pancetta in a small skillet until crispy, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions, reducing the cooking time by 1 minute. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the onion is soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the nutmeg, paprika, cayenne, allspice and a few turns of pepper and cook for 2 minutes more. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the flour, whisking until combined, then cook for 1 minute. Add half the milk, whisking continuously, until thickened, about 5 minutes, then repeat with the other half of the milk. Add the Brie, Gruyere and pancetta and stir until the cheese is melted. Remove from the heat and add the pasta.
  • Pour the mixture into the baking dish and top it with the walnuts and Parmesan. Bake until the top is browned, about 25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and enjoy!

This mac and cheese was a bit too cheesy for my taste. The walnut crust was a nice touch, but the brie was a bit overpowering. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
